Could really use help spreading the word. Our new Kickstarter is in pre-launch and we are flying under the radar.
Inheritance is a mix of Watchmen, Succession, Starter Villain, Knives Out and Noble Causes. A family drama wrapped in a supervillain thriller.

2026 continues to be shitty!
An AI policy that says anything other than “AI sucks and we do not use it” is a failure, but it’s a special failure when a library-adjacent product promotes AI-generated slip.
Boo! Boooooo!!!
